We are all acutely aware of the trauma of pregnancy loss. It is something that probably was not talked about enough in Irish society. Maybe that is why it has not gotten the degree of focus it needed. We wanted to change that. We felt that we needed to take a first step in undertaking that. As the Deputy said, we brought forward a detailed piece of research, which I think Deputies will find useful. If they get time, they should look at it. This will form the basis of decisions by the Government in terms of the next steps. I cannot give any absolute commitments today, but we have some very useful data and that can inform the next steps.
